Causality Consistency Problem for Two Different Possibilistic Causal Models
نویسنده
چکیده
Conditional Causal Probability (CCPR) and Conditional Causal Possibility (CCPO) have been proposed to express exact uncertainties of causalities, and some reasoning methods based on them have been studied to calculate probabilities or possibilities of unknown events under the condition that some events are known. CCPR/CCPO is a conditional probability/possibility of a causation event conditioned by its cause. Causation event is an Òevent that a cause actually causes an effect.Ó The paper proposes to classify causal models based on causation events into two types -symmetrically valued and asymmetrically valued causal models -depending on the properties of variables, which take an event as their value. It also shows the relations between CCPOs and conventional conditional possibilities in these two types of causal models. Then, it defines and discusses a Causality Consistency Problem, which is a problem to calculate the possibility of combined values of arbitrarily chosen unknown variables, when values of some other variables are known.

Possibilistic causality consistency problem based on asymmetrically-valued causal model
The paper addresses uncertain reasoning based on causal knowledge given by two layered networks, where nodes in one layer express possible causes and those in the other are possible e/ects. Uncertainties of the causalities are given by conditional causal possibilities, which were proposed to express the exact degrees of possibility of causalities. The expression of the uncertainty also has an a...
متن کاملDevelopment of Possibilistic Causal Model from Data
Possibilistic causal models have been proposed as an approach for prediction and diagnosis based on uncertain causal relations. However, the only way to develop the causal models is to acquire the possibilistic knowledge from the experts. The paper proposes an approach to develop the models from a dataset including causes and effects. It first develops a probabilistic causal model, then transfo...
متن کاملProduct-based Causal Networks and Quantitative Possibilistic Bases
In possibility theory, there are two kinds of possibilistic causal networks depending if possibilistic conditioning is based on the minimum or on the product operator. Similarly there are also two kinds of possibilistic logic: standard (min-based) possibilistic logic and quantitative (product-based) possibilistic logic. Recently, several equivalent transformations between standard possibilistic...
متن کاملPossibilistic Causal Networks for Handling Interventions: A New Propagation Algorithm
This paper contains two important contributions for the development of possibilistic causal networks. The first one concerns the representation of interventions in possibilistic networks. We provide the counterpart of the ”DO” operator, recently introduced by Pearl, in possibility theory framework. We then show that interventions can equivalently be represented in different ways in possibilisti...

Article history: Received 11 September 2009 Accepted 20 September 2009 Available online 17 November 2009 Causality and belief change play an important role in many applications. This paper focuses on the main issues of causality and interventions in possibilistic graphical models. We show that interventions, which are very useful for representing causal relations between events, can be naturall...
